Sol & Mar Fried Tomato Sauce

Sol & Mar is an exclusive specialty brand owned and distributed by the German discount supermarket chain Lidl. The brand was specifically developed to bring the authentic culinary flavors of the Iberian Peninsula—primarily Spain and Portugal—to consumers across Europe. The product shown, a Fried Tomato Sauce (known in Spanish as Tomate Frito) with onion, is a staple of Spanish cuisine.

Consistent with the brand's Mediterranean focus, this particular sauce is manufactured in Spain, often by regional Spanish food producers who partner with Lidl to maintain traditional recipes. While the brand itself is a private label created by Lidl Stiftung & Co. KG, it is marketed as a seasonal or specialty range that appears during themed "Spanish Week" promotions in Lidl stores. Ownership remains with the Schwarz Group, the parent company of Lidl, which oversees the brand's international distribution and quality standards.
